Redefining Customer Experience, from the Client Perspective
KeyBank is a leading super-regional retail bank in the United States, with US$138 billion in total assets as of December 31, 2018. It is the first super-regional bank to complete an IT transformation project of such scale. KeyBank completed the transformation while integrating its acquisition of First Niagara Financial Group (FNFG) into its operations and systems. The project, Digital 17, had the goal of accelerating KeyBank’s journey to become a fully digital bank across four significant transformational aspects.(Figure 1)
